injury by Frost,

Anticipation of Big Crops-yery Little
injury by Frost.
VACAvILLE, May 16th.-No damage was
done to cherries or anything by frost Tar
tartan cherries are light, though. The
prospects for apricots and peaches are the
biggest ever known. Representatives of
the canneries are here, making contracts
for peaches and apricots. One cannery
bought 300 tons of apricots oday.
SANTA Rosa, May 16th.-The damage by
frost is confined to vineyards and vegetables
in comparatively small areas No injury
to cherries or other fruits is reported from
any portion of Sonoma county.
SoNoMA. May 16th.-Reports from all
parts of Sonoma Valley agree that the
cherry crop. as well as other fruits, were
not injured by the recent frosts. The
cherry crop, however, is short from other
and unknown causes.
ANTIOCH, May 16th-No frost in this
portion of Contra Costa. Cherries and
grapes promise bountiful harvest
HEALDsBURG, May 16th.-The cherry
crop hereabouts is above the average. No
damage was done here
DIXON, May 16th-From the most re-
liable reports received from the cherry dis
tricts we learn that there is no truth in the
rumor that the crop has been injured by
frost.
PETALUMA, May 16th-The cherry crop
viii be good. Some damage occurred from
wind III exposed localities. The orchards
We're mostly sheltered, and there has not
been over fifteen per cent. loss. No loss
from trosts.
NAPA, May 16th.-In this vicinity the
peaches and aprieots will make large
crops. Cherries are light, but not injured
by frost. The late frosts did slight injury
to grapes, estimated at ten per cent. The
hay yield is light, but grain promises well.
SAN JosE, May 16th.-The light frost
which fell few days ago did slight damage
to grapes along the water-courses and in
low-lying localities. Cherries were too far
advanced to be injured by this cause. The
crop, however, is comparatively light,
owing to the rains which fell while the
trees were in bloom.

Report of the Commission Sent to the
Earthquake Districts.

Report OF the Commission Sent to the
Earthquake Districts.
HERMosILLo, May 16th.-The courier
sent by the Commission now examining
into the recent seismic disturbances in the
Sierra MadTe mountains, arrived at Ures
to-day, and is the bearer of the following
dispatch to Governor Torres In the
pueblo of Babispe 81 persons were killed
and 10 injured. In 0puto were killed.
Both pueblos were destroyed. The inhab-
itants of Babispe, Baceraca, Oputo and
Guacabas are living in the fields, under the
trees. and in dugouts. There has been
repeated succession of shocks, although
lighter than that of the Sd instant. A
panic has existed everywhere, and num-
ber of women died from fright. The
pueblo of Fronteras, in the district of
Arispe, was destroyed, and fortunately only
one person killed. Bacoache suffered
greatly, but no one was killed or injured.
Everything possible is being done to re-
lieve the distress. A wide extent of terri
tory is scanned with crevices and immense
chasms. The earth has sunk in many
places, and is flooded with water, making
swamps where water never existed before.
In many mountains are TO be seen what
appear to be eruptions, and the continuous
throwing of smoke indicates volcanic ae-
ton, but they have not yet been explored,
owing to the continuous tremors and great
chasms making the approach thereto at
the present time most difficult and dau-
gerous.

FRIGHTFuL ACCIDENT.
A Boy Blown Into Fragments by Giant
Powder.

LEADvILLE, May 16th.-The most shock
ing accident that has been reported from
the Midland tunnel for many months oc-
CURED near the west portal on Saturday
last, in which James Manni, boy fourteen
years of age, was literally blown to pieces
through an explosion of giant powder.
On the occasion of the accident he was dis
patched to the magazine for box of giant
powder, which was to be used by the drill
forces, and procuring it he started to re-
turn, when The men heard an explosion,
mingled with shrek, and rushing out
found the dismembered form of the youth
lying about the approach to the tunnel.
The sight was sickening one. Flesh and
bones were scattered in every direction,
while there was scarcely enough left intact
to identify the youth. 1t is probable that
having shouldered the box of powder, the
boy started for the tunnel and stumbled,
causing the stuff to explode.

President informed callers to-day that be-
fore the end of the week several appoint

be made. He did not indicate what the

any Of the men whose claims were origi-

Twenty-Five Millions of Treasure I'm

earthed in India.
LONDON. May 16th-The Financial Sec
retary of India advised the Government of
the discovery of an immense amount of
treasure, estimated at over 425,000,OOO
which had been secreted by the late Ma
hajarah. The treasure had been sunk in
pits under the vaults beneath the Beenaua.
The secret was intrusted to few confden-
tial servants. The Secretary was present
when the treasure was unearthed After
removing the earth to a depth of six feet
the workmen revealed great flag stones.
Beneath these were several pits filled to the
brim with silver, chiefly freshly-coined
rupees. In each pit was a plate recording
the amount of the treasure. and the names
of the officials who assisted in secreting it.
The Indian Government has taken the
hoard as loan from the young Maharajah
The native papers protest against this ac-
ton. They say that had the Maharaiah
been an adult, instead of under Regency
controlled by the Government he would
never have invested his whole wealth in
Indian securities. The question will be
raised in Parliament as to whether invest
ment' be not another name for seizure.
